Watch as the limit approaches zero...

mik3capI'm really excited about Return To The Forbidden Planet. The cast met for the first time on Tuesday, and it's really a terrific pool of talent. Our first read-through was a lot of fun... but everyone except for the two male leads needs to be off-book in TWO WEEKS. Oh my Jeebus. I'm not particularly concerned about this; my part is a significant one, but I'm merely a supporting character, and have nowhere near the number of lines Tom or Ken do.
The really scary thing is that the production of this musical is going to be staggering. There's lots and lots to do between now and October 3rd; I'm going to be rehearsing three nights a week, and doing singing rehearsals on a fourth night. The blocking and choreography and vamping and timing is going to take a long time to work out. Between both my jobs and this, I will no longer have any free time during the week. None, zero, zip.
This concerns me. I want to be able to do things and to see people on a regular basis and to have the freedom to do random stuff at a moment's notice... but my time committments are manifold. I'm going to have to be really strict with my scheduling.
I guess this is the tradeoff for wanting to do something new. I suppose my timing could have been a little better, I could have picked a time where business and work weren't picking up. But I really wanted to be a part of this show - the bug bit me, and here I am.
You all have to come to the show, by the way. I'm going to be pre-selling tickets at some point... and really, how can you say no to a musical that stars Tom and has me in a supporting role??
